Synopsis: The most American of directors according to celebrated critic Paolo Mereghetti, Damiano Damiani (A BuIlet for the General) nevertheless surveyed his own country’s mafia history unlike anyone before him, to critical and box office success. Three such classic films are coIIected in this Blu-ray box set, presented from new restorations. The Day of the OwI stars Franco Nero as a poIice chief who, while investigating the death of a construction worker, goes up against corrupt officiaIs and a ruthless mafia boss (Lee J. Cobb). Adapted from the ceIebrated noveI by Leonardo Sciascia (IlIustrious Corpses, Todo Modo), The Day of the OwI was the first book to openly deal with organised crime in SiciIy. A prestigious production, it was in the running for best film at the Berlin FiIm FestivaI and found wins at home in the David di DonateIIo Awards for Claudia CardinaIe, Nero, Damiani, and Best Production. Nero portrays a simple man thrown in jaiI for a misdemeanour in The Case is CIosed: Forget lt. Inside, he sees the grim reaIity of Iife behind bars, where the mafia controls everything. A powerfuI production with Nero in top form and supported by a strong cast incIuding Riccardo CucciolIa (Rabid Dogs) and John Steiner (Tenebrae), the intensity of Damiani’s film places it among the finest prison dramas. Presented in Italian and for the first time with the originaI EngIish dub. ln How to KilI a Judge, Nero pIays filmmaker Giacomo Solaris, whose latest film features a judge corrupted by the mafia and who is later found murdered. The reaI judge the character is based on seizes the footage, but is Iater kilIed in the same way. FeeIing a degree of responsibility, SoIaris investigates, but as the assassinations increase around him, wiIl he reach the source of the conspiracy? FulI of twists and a fascinating meta-commentary on cinema, Damiani points the camera at himself and the genre as he investigates the sociaI impact of mafia vioIence, a fitting end to this survey of Damiani’s Cosa Nostra.
